Sorry but I'm still on Mr. Peter's side. I had a room-mate who did QA at EA and would come home with the same complaints, and similar stories. This is a re-occuring problem in the Video Game Industry. Maybe Mr. Peters' expectations were set way too high but there's a reason why QA has such extremely high turnover. Generally people don't quit good paying jobs, they quit mentally disengaging low paid crappy ones.
And don't think that $11/hour somehow fixes everything.
Another room-mate worked at a defense contractor as a "geospatial technician" aka sit in front of a PC and do mind numbing easy work. The work and hours so mind dulling that they had an extreme turnover despite paying their employees well. The ones that stayed were miserable as hell and new employees stayed away from them.
If there's a problem with the job or with the treatment, increasing pay doesn't fix the original problem. You can't keep putting new bandages on a wound that won't heal and keeps bleeding. You can't keep filling up your tires with air and ignoring the hole that needs to be patched.
